In early September 2024, Ukraine launched one of its largest drone strikes on Russia since the war began. Russia’s defense ministry reported intercepting 144 drones overnight, including 20 over Moscow, forcing airport closures and disrupting operations near the capital.
Dataminr alerted over 87 times as the situation unfolded, beating mainstream media by over 14 hours. By ingesting video, text, and images from local news, government sources, and eyewitness video/chatter, we delivered real-time translated alerts from Russian to English. For airlines, the ability to anticipate and respond to airspace disruptions is critical, and Dataminr enables informed decisions at speed to safeguard crews, passengers, and operations.
